Stauble
South German (Stäuble): diminutive of Staub. The entire surname suggests 'to cause a storm' in the metaphorical sense, though a literal translation might be 'to cause a dust storm.'
Although originally 'von Stäuhble,' many Teuton's including American immigrants from Switzerland and Germany shortened to 'Stäuble.' During the wars of the early and mid-20th century, North Americans of Teutonic ancestry further 'americanized' their surnames to prevent suspician of potential loyalty to the advesary. 'Von' was eliminated by a number of the Stäuble clanmembers at this time. Similarly, during the period of anti-German feelings in England during World War I, many German names and titles were changed and given more English-sounding names, including the royal family's from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.
